6.2 Release | October 3, 2019

Daminion 6.2 version released.

After 7 months of intensive work, we are happy to announce the release of Daminion 6.2, a simple yet robust digital asset management (DAM) solution for small and mid-sized teams!
The new Daminion 6.2 version comes with several major improvements such as AI tagging, Synonyms for custom tags in the desktop client, Upload to the selected folder in the web client and Daminion cloud, PDF preview in the web client, as well as a range of other optimizations and enhancements.
Daminion 6.2 is available in both cloud and on-premises versions and works on many different platforms.

Major Improvements

AI tagging The most requested feature for Daminion is now available in both Daminion on-premises and cloud! Built on Google Vision, Daminion AI tagging automatically tags your image content with highly intelligible keywords and saves your employees hours of manual tagging time spent meticulously describing the pictorial content of your creative assets. Daminion AI tagging is not intended as a complete replacement for manual tagging, but rather as a handy tool to significantly facilitate the organization of your digital library. Learn more about Daminion AI tagging

Synonyms for custom tags. Daminion's custom tags allow you to overcome restrictions imposed by the default selection of tags available in other DAM systems, so you can organize your asset library in a thorough and business-related way. You can now benefit from being able to assign synonyms to custom tags in just the same way as to default tags! Synonyms help you reduce the list of tags, avoid repetitive tags, and organize your assets in multiple languages if needed. Learn more about synonyms for custom tags here.

Upload to selected folder. Organizing your files by default folder structure in the web client and Daminion cloud is no longer the only option! This new feature allows you to decide exactly where your new files will reside by uploading them directly to the selected folder. Find out more about uploading to the selected folder here.

PDF preview in web client. The PDF preview option allows you to open your PDF files directly in your web browser without having to download each PDF file to view its contents. Learn more about PDF preview here.

Minor improvements

6.0 Release | January 29, 2019

Daminion 6.0 version released.

The new Daminion 6.0 version comes with several major improvements such as a re-modeled web client, video preview in web client for all video formats, new user roles editor, improved access control for Active Directory authentication, extended API calls, simplified login to the web catalog, and a range of other optimizations and enhancements. Daminion 6.0 is available in cloud and on-premises versions.

Major Improvements

Web client 2.0. A completely re-modeled web client presents a new, more user-friendly interface along with an extended set of options that allow you to customize web client according to your brand. You can now customize Daminion according to your corporate identity. Set the introductory message and background image for your intro page, change the user interface colors and logotype.

Video Preview. The new Video Preview option allows you to play ALL video formats directly in your web browsers, which significantly enhances your workflow (previously, it was limited to MP4 and WebM formats only). This option is especially useful for Mac users and those who manage mostly video files with Daminion. If the Video Preview option is disabled in your configuration you can enable it via the Daminion Administration panel. Once enabled, it will generate medium-res previews of video files in all catalogs.

User Roles Configurator. The User Roles Configurator gives you greater flexibility and better control over user access permissions to the catalog. You can now change the access permissions of predefined user roles or create your own custom user roles with access permissions to provide better security for your catalog and data.

Integration with other systems via new Daminion API. Daminion can easily be integrated with other systems like a corporate CMS or CRM. The new Daminion Web API allows you not only to access your data and metadata in read-only mode but also to import/edit/remove new files and tags in absolute security (https + safe authentication).

Improved access control for Active Directory authentication. The latest version of Daminion allows you to configure access control on file level when Active Directory Groups mapping authentication mode is selected in Daminion server. Access control represents a deeper level of access security on the file level when certain files can be hidden from the view of a user or a group of users.

5.8 Release | March 07, 2018

Daminion 5.8 version released.

The new release includes major improvements to the Web client, making it even better and allowing companies with a predominantly Mac environment to use it as efficiently as it is used by Windows-based companies.

Major Improvements

Required Metadata. A digital asset is valuable only if it can be found quickly by anyone in the organization. Digital assets that you add to the catalog should be described in detail to make searching easier and more precise. You can now define required metadata fields so that new digital assets will be indexed only after filling out a set of required metadata. You can now be certain that your catalog will be free of improperly tagged files, thus ensuring that all searches will return the necessary results.

Custom tags in web client.The ability to create custom tags in the web client to tag your files more precisely according to your company needs.

Export settings in web clientThe Export settings function allows you to resize and convert downloading images on the fly without using external tools for the task. Files can be downloaded using different export presets which allow you to resize, convert, apply watermarks, and add or exclude metadata.

Bug Fixes

Fixed bug when custom tags assigned in the desktop client were not displayed in the web client

Fixed bug when video files were not played on Macs and iPhones

Fixed bug with creating shared collections

Fixed bug when the thumbnails of merged HDR images in DNG format were not recognized

Major Improvements

Shared collections. A great addition for teams who need to share files without having to give clients or colleagues direct access to the whole catalog. You can quickly share your documents now via Shared Collections in Web client with precise sharing options: expiration date, password-protected access, access to original hi-res file version.

Support for video playback in web client.Now MPEG4 (AVC codec) and WebM can be played directly from within web client, thus saving you from having to open these files in desktop video players. Support for other video formats is planned for future Daminion releases.

Drag'n'drop tag assignment in web client Assigning tags to files in web client is now faster and more convenient. Tags can now be assigned by dragging and dropping selected items to the necessary tag in the browse panel.

Faster batch tag-assignment in desktop client. Assigning multiple tags for multiple files is now up to 5 times faster.

The "Does not contain" condition has been added to Advanced Search for Title, Description, Comment, Rights Usage Terms, Imported By, and for all custom tags of long text format (should be set up to display in the Properties panel only) which makes your search results more precise

Minor Improvements

A folder containing a certain file can now be opened directly from within Web Client via the Locate Button on the Properties panel. You must have access permissions to this folder

Alphabetic sort order for custom tags in the Custom Tags dialog window

Work faster with multiple catalogs opened simultaneously

IT admins in large companies no longer need to manage all users manually - now you simply specify your AD Groups-Daminion Role. Plus a lot of minor improvements that will speed-up your workflow and significantly improve the way you organize your media.

Login-free Web Access allows you to share collections with clients without having to enter any login/password

Active Directory Groups can now be mapped to Daminion Roles. You no longer have to add AD Users one at a time or track their consistency

User roles on a per-catalog basis. User Mary can be a Viewer of Catalog A, and an Editor of Catalog B

Auto-import folder. Import files to Daminion Server without using Daminion desktop or Web-Client. Instead, just copy files to a certain folder, or use FTP or Dropbox/Google Drive. This gives you a quick way to import files via your Smartphone: simply put a file into Dropbox on your smartphone. This will sync the file with a Dropbox folder on your Server PC that is set to Auto-Import files into Daminion Server.

Import to selected folder. You can now import files to a folder that you have selected in the Tag Tree.

Minor Improvements

Number of connected users and catalog database version are now displayed in the admin panel.

Report after rescan. A full rescan report is now available via Catalog > Rescan Reports, or by right clicking on the rescan progress indicator.

Daminion Clients can be logged off automatically after a specified time interval

3.7 (1187) Release | March 17, 2015

3.7 (1186) Release | March 13, 2015

The new Daminion 3.7 version features more than 20 improvements including faster viewing of large images, easier Daminion Server administration, grouping of similar images, and additional file format support. Plus several minor bug fixes.

Top 5 Improvements:

Large images can be displayed much faster - at the same speed as common JPEG images.

Integration with Windows Active Directory enables you to sync the Daminion Server with the company's existing user database instead of manually entering user names and passwords. Users, in their turn, can be logged-in to Daminion automatically without re-entering their Windows NT/Active Directory password.

Similar images can now be grouped together and displayed more compactly, reducing the number of steps required to access your assets.

Added support for new media formats including MXF videos and Samsung SRW images. And you can now display quality thumbnails for Cineform video and AutoCAD (DXF/DWG) formats.

The Tray (Lightbox) panel has been drastically improved and now, apart from saving its state after restarting the Daminion Client, it allows you to assign tags, save images as collections, and export images directly from the Tray. Files added to the Tray will still be there after restarting the program. For server catalogs you can even connect from another computer and see your Tray files.

Other Improvements:

Improved thumbnail display performance

Improved "Import from CSV" option

Added support for importing hierarchical ACDSee categories

Map location names are now localized

3.4 (1113) Release | March 13, 2014

With the new Daminion 3.4 you can create multiple SHARED catalogs and open them as multiple local catalogs in your Daminion Client!

Although the Daminion Server allows you to import and manage millions of files, it sometimes makes sense to split your digital asset library into several smaller parts, especially in an organization with many departments, where each one has its own particular digital archive.

Special Offer: Get Daminion with 15% discount

For a limited period only, we are offering a 15% discount on any version of Daminion. The offer is open up to and including November 8, 2014.

3.3 (1048) Release | July 03, 2014

With more than 50 new features and improvements, Daminion 3.3 enables you to describe your digital content more precisely and find your documents much faster.

Major Improvements:

Duplicate documents can be located and removed quickly by expanding the "Saved Searches" tag and clicking on the "Duplicates" value.

You can describe your content with new tags like Scene, Subject Code, and Intellectual Genre.

You can protect your tag taxonomy against screw-ups. Tags can be locked by admin for changes - users may assign or remove existing tags, but they can't change the tag structure.

Synonyms and Tag Groups allow you to reduce the number of visible tags, making it easier to navigate through the tag tree. You can select the "Images" tag group to find JPEGs, TIFFs, PNGs and other images - you don't have to check each of them individually.

Rendering speed of large images, especially TIFF images, in Full Screen mode has significantly increased, and thumbnails for shared catalogs are also displayed much faster.

New files are imported up to 5 times faster than before into the large server based catalogs

You can now sort items manually when a single collection tag is selected and, prepare them in a specific order when necessary for things like publications or presentations.

A new Expired License Date field will enable you to avoid expensive penalties for using images after their license dates have expired.

We have also added an experimental option whereby you can find all publications of a particular image, or images very similar to it, on the internet.

The "Compare Items" window has been significantly improved, and selecting the right file version is much easier than before.

Other Improvements

Working with large tag lists is now faster than before. An extra tag can now be displayed in the Folder panel.

Large Query Panels can now be collapsed

It's possible now to locate a tag in the Tags tree via the context menu of a tag in the Properties panel:

Added support for importing people from Windows Live Photo Gallery (WLPG)

Added support for reading GPS info from video taken by iPhone and Android mobiles

Individual tags can be excluded from embedding into the images during the export process (via the Export Preset Editor)

Keywords can be flattened in exported images

Full folder path is now displayed in the left panel of the Import Window.

It's now possible to check another folder in Assign Tags mode (via the context menu).

Added 1.5 sec delay to expand the destination tag when reordering tags. So a tag value can be dropped as a sub-tag of another tag without expanding the destination tag. This is very useful when the destination tag has a lot of sub-tags.

Media Formats and Metadata

User defined thumbnails can be added for some file formats that cannot be rendered natively by Daminion. To add such thumbnails, first create a small (400?400) thumbnail image, call it: originalfilename.ext.thumbnail.jpg, and place it in the same folder as the original file.

Added support for PSB images (a preview can be added as a user defined thumbnail)

2.0 (911) Release | November 01, 2013

Improvements:

New export preset editor that allows you to customize your export transformation presets

Some import settings (file and folder naming rules, a way of importing) can be locked by the administrator ("Catalog > Import Settings")

Interface settings are now stored inside the catalog individually for each user so you can see your customizations by logging in from any computer.

Share your images with various devices such as Tablets, Macs, Mobiles or the Web via experimental Dropbox integration. All image conversions and image optimizations will be performed on the fly.

Export to CSV

Added 15k limitation to Daminion Standalone version. Daminion's test period is over; however, you can still continue to use Daminion for free, with one limitation: you can import a maximum of 15k files per catalog. There are several ways to increase this limit: https://daminion.net/order/buy-daminion.

Daminion can now search through tag parents (even if they are not directly assigned to files) in the following tags: Folders, Keywords, Categories, People, Place, Event. For example, searching by "plant" now finds all images that were directly assigned to the "plants\oak" keyword (but not to the "plants" keywords)

Improved support for PDF files

It's now possible to Switch Off display for a number of assigned files in the Tags panel

Better handling of XMP in RAW images

Added support for MPEG-TS format

Added 2 new video tags: Frame Rate and Bit Rate (will be available in the newly created catalogs)

Advanced Search now searches tag parents for all tags except the "Everywhere" option

After being created, Custom Tags will now appear in the Tags and Properties panels

You can now use the Paste command (Ctrl + V) to enter information into the "Folder to Store Uploaded Files" field in the Administrative panel

A hint is now displayed for large truncated captions below Thumbnails

"Users\Public\MyDocuments" is now the default folder for storing uploaded files (instead of the ProgramData folder)

Tags with the same values (folders, media format, color label, rating) are now displayed in the Properties panel when multiple items are selected

Tag values from tag presets can now be used in the renaming templates in the Import window

Improved "Re-link Folder" feature

You can now use the context menu to find images assigned to a GPS Group marker

Note: With this version you'll need to upgrade all your Daminion Clients manually because all connections between Server and Client are now secure and old client versions don't "understand" the new server. All future Daminion Client updates will be automatic.

Use of User Roles to restrict access to your centralized digital image archive

The new version of Daminion provides different levels of access to shared catalogs managed by Daminion Server. Users with an Editor role can import and edit images and image annotations (tags), while users with a Viewer role can only search for and view digital media documents.
The User Roles feature is only available in the Daminion Server Team version, i.e. not in the Daminion Server Home and Pro versions.

Auto-Sync Folders

The "Auto Sync-Folders" feature monitors selected folders for changes and new file additions, and automatically syncs them with Daminion without user intervention.

Improved support for Camera RAW images

Camera RAW images (including NEF and CR2 formats) with embedded Adobe RGB profiles are now correctly displayed in thumbnail and full screen modes when CMS is turned on.

New Tags

Several new tags have been added to improve Daminion's cataloging capabilities

Right Terms Usage

ItemID. Sorting items by Item ID displays them in the order they were imported.

Audio Tags (Composers and Conductors)

Import related tags (Import Session ID, Imported By, Import Date)

New PostgreSQL version

Daminion now ships with the most recent PostgreSQL 9.2 version, which contains a number of improvements and security fixes. Daminion is no longer tied to any particular version of PostgreSQL. You can update it separately from Daminion. However, please note that PostgreSQL doesn't update the existing database. Instead, it creates a new database and new program files.

Note also that Daminion will install PostgreSQL 9.2 only for fresh Daminion Server installations.

and removable devices. A list of the removable devices appears in the
drop down menu of the Add Files button immediately after you insert a
flash-card into your card-reader or connect a removable drive.

You can preview the images to be transferred. Images and Videos can
be grouped by Creation Date, Folder or Media Type. Hovering the mouse
over a thumbnail displays a large tool tip with a medium-sized image
preview allowing you to see the image in greater detail.

Media files can be renamed during the transfer using a handy
renaming function. Files can be imported to your computer and then
either imported into Daminion's local catalog or uploaded to your

Full Support for XMP, EXIF, IPTC metadata. Any changes of file
properties (tags) will automatically be reflected on the file metadata
(if the metadata writing is supported by the file media format)

Reading/writing hierarchical and complex tags from/to metadata

Quick, advanced and saved searches

Version control

Export on demand with transformation presets

Powerful properties panel

New interface with draggable panels and various view modes.

Simultaneous works with multiple catalogs that feature different tabs, similar to modern web-browsers that can open web-pages

Catalogs lock in relative paths to imported files. No worries
over losing links to your files even if you store your folders on an
external storage drive. If files or catalogs are re-located, all links
inside the catalogs will always correctly point to files on the same
drive or in the same folder.
